By coupling works of literature with attendant films and with critical essays, the author provides instructors with accessible avenues for encouraging classroom discussion. Literary theories covered in depth are psychoanalytic criticism (\u003ci\u003eThe Awakening\u003c\/i\u003e and film adaptations \u003ci\u003eThe End of August\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eGrand Isle\u003c\/i\u003e), cultural criticism (\u003ci\u003eA Streetcar Named Desire\u003c\/i\u003e and its 1951 film version), and thematic criticism (\"Ode: Intimations of Immortality from Recollections of Early Childhood\" and the film adaptation \u003ci\u003eSplendor in the Grass\u003c\/i\u003e). Other theories are used to clarify and support those referred to above. The work then includes a survey of the image patterns into which film adaptation theories can be grouped and how these theories relate to traditional literary theory.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"McFarland \u0026 Company","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46883820404887,"sku":"9780786439331","price":3710.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780786439331.webp?v=1770240930","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/teaching-literary-theory-using-film-adaptations-9780786439331","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
